This part starts off just like Part 1&2 so give it a second.
Here is part 3 of ??

If anyone has a problem with appearing in the video please advise me and I will see what I can do, but I think that everyone will be pleased with what has been included. We had a lot of fun and joked, sang, clowned around and told stories. A foul word may have been said here or there, but never in malice, anger or a degrading fashion. I have tried to exclude them whenever possible but sometimes they may have been relevant to the story or event. If this concerns you you may wish to review all the videos before letting children see them. Some of the stories may at first appear a little embarrassing but looking at them from a distant timeline we should view them as enlightening and reflecting the varied character of our family. Nothing to be ashamed of. Some at the reunion may have acted a little silly, slurred a word, stumbled on a joke, exaggerated a story or doubled a fact… but that’s what happens at reunions… they’re supposed to be more fun than a funeral.
These 'parts' are not final versions, that's why its important that you view them and give me feedback, new pictures or information that we can add to the final version which will be all the parts put together for an hour-long family video.
p.s. The website is provided at no charge, because of that it doesn't cost anything to support it. You can do this by choosing one or all of the 'follow' options and by making comments. This not only let's me know if these efforts are worth it, but it also encourages other family members to 'follow' and comment. You can also use the comments to hold conversations with others on the different subjects posted without cluttering your email or FaceBook feeds.
With almost an hour of audio, another hour and a half of video and over 150 photos from the reunion it looks like the completed video will be about 55 minutes long. Unfortunately we can only upload short stretches of video on YouTube, so what I’m going to do is, as I work on the video, upload 10-12 minute segments at a time for viewing on this website. By next years reunion we should have the completed video ready on a DVD to add to the videos on the DVD we passed out this year. With the refinement and completions of those videos we should have a pretty good DVD
If you have pictures from the reunion it is not to late to send them to me. We downloaded pictures from Amanda and JL’s camera Saturday afternoon but not anything taken after that or from anyone else.
If you have some to send just email them to me at me@glennlittrell.com
send them un-modified, as is, I will take care of cropping and editing them. If you crop and then send them then if I have to crop them further we loose resolution. If your sending more than 5 then ‘zip’ them or don’t send them all at once: send them 5-10 at a time per day to keep your internet connections from locking up. If your connection isn’t prone to locking up them go ahead and send as many as you want at a time.

For those of you knew to video viewing there is a symbol in the bottom right corner of the video, four outward pointing arrows, next to the words YouTube. Click it to watch the video in full screen mode.
To be clear, what we are talking about in this part of the video is two separate thing: 1.) John and Kizzie had a store in Tennessee which eventually failed. The failure of the store, Grandpa John had an affair with a married women and the family's moon-shining adventures have all three been cited as reasons the family left Tennessee so quickly to join John's brother (James) in Missouri.
2.) The family lived for a time in Anniston, Missouri where evidently 'Red' had a diner which Les and Evelyn eventually took over. I got this story from Onene in the later years before her Alzheimer kicked in. She said Red and Les had a dinner and a theater there. Onene often-ed underestimated her memory for such things and usually left the story telling up to dad (JD) and Red so when she revealed something it was hard to question her on the story or pursue it at a later date. JL said he would ask Evelyn about it.
Hopefully we can get more information and discussions at next years reunion.
Received some pictures from the reunion taken by Mary Catherine (Littrell-Cook) and have added them to the video, but not this portion(part1) of the video. They will appear in a later portion.
IT'S NOT TO LATE TO SEND BE PICTURES OR VIDEO FROM THE REUNION OR INFORMATION FOR THE BOOK: MILITARY ROLE CALL OR FOR THE UPDATE OF THE REMEMBER OUR VETERAN'S VIDEO
I am going to assume everyone is alright with the "Part 1 of ???" video and am going to proceed with working on Part 2.
The above comments are in reference to "PART 1"
